| Here, as I am walking from the Top 10 Pubs in various local counties as dictated here. This was #1 in Gloucs when I made my list but has "dropped" to #3 by the time I got here :-) Nice pub - huge car park around the rear. Evidence of its former name - the Duke of Beaufort. A bar and lounge. Excellent pint of Butcombe Chinook (never seen previously) and very knowledgeable and friendly locals who were keen to tell me about the history of the village. A successful day out - Photos at my blog - http://bit.ly/1XgN1ck Mappiman - 12 Jun 2016 12:00 |
| A traditional, stone built pub in this small village, it would appear to be a popular spot with locals but on a recent Sunday afternoon visit there were clearly a number of visitors there, no doubt due to the fact that one of the eighty Gromits from the “Gromit Unleashed” trail currently on around Bristol was in the small beer garden at the back. The pub consists of three rooms. The public bar at the front of the pub is the smallest, and this was a pleasant room with beams on the ceiling, mustard colour paintwork and dark wood panelling on the lower part of the walls. Flooring was mostly wood and there was a brick fire-place to one side with a wood burning stove. A plasma was stuck on the wall above this which spoilt the look of the brick chimney breast somewhat, but at least it was turned off. An old ship’s lantern was sat on top of the stove and there was various brewery memorabilia about such as old mirrors from Bass and Youngs. To the rear of this is a much larger room that looks as though it was a skittle alley at one time, and perhaps still is, but also doubles as a function room. This had a high vaulted ceiling and a number of old metal advertising signs were on the walls from companies such as Cadburys and the Western Daily Press. There was some flagstone flooring in here besides light wood strip. A lounge bar to the right had slightly more of a food focus with some tables being reserved, but was still a pleasant room and there were a few punters sat up on stools at the bar. Beers on tap were Cotswold Spring’s Stunner, Bath Ales Spa and Bristol Beer Factory’s Acer. Another pump for BBF No. 7 appeared to have run out. Ciders were also well represented with Stowford Press and Ashton Press as well as both Bounders and Bounders Traditional from Bath Ales. Blackthorn - 5 Aug 2013 22:03 |
| Really nice beer - good choices and good quality! Good food although steak was a little overcooked. Service was ok although not as good as the reviews here had led me to believe (definately seemed to be a policy of serving locals first!) The outside of the pub is a little tired but the interior is homely and welcoming (if a bit overcrowded with tables). Currently has a Gromit in the garden (part of the Bristol Gromit Trail) pubscouter - 4 Aug 2013 21:49 |
| Great friendly pub. Stopped in while on the Cotswold Way. Good beer, proper decent pub grub. Friendly locals. Recommended! Bagsy - 19 Sep 2012 11:41 |
| One of the friendliest pubs I've ever been to. A group of us went before going to Westonbirt Arboretum to see a concert and the landlord laid on free food. Butcombe Gold was excellent as was the other three real ales the others in our group drank. Top pub. neptune06 - 29 Jun 2011 05:27 |
